Ford has sold twice as many electric Mustangs as petrol ones

The world of cars is changing faster than it may seem from the outside. Mustang, once a symbol of pure petrol drive, is now increasingly associated with electric power. Ford's decision to give the legendary name to the Mach-E crossover was controversial, but sales statistics show that the bet worked.

Here's What We Know

In August, 7,226 copies of the Mustang Mach-E were sold in the U.S. - more than twice as many as the classic Mustang coupes and convertibles, which sold 3,235 copies. Increased interest in the crossover is attributed, among other things, to the end of the federal tax credit for electric vehicles, which spurred demand in the final weeks of summer.

The year-to-year trend also plays to the electric Mustang's strength. From January to August 2025, Ford sold 34,319 Mach-E units, up 6.7 percent from last year's 32,167 vehicles in the same period. Sales of the petrol Mustang were down 8.3% to 31,015 cars in the period.

For Ford as a whole, August was a month of electrification growth. Sales of the F-150 Lightning jumped 21.2% (3,217 vehicles), although in annual terms they are still lagging behind (-9.7%). In total, the Blue Oval sold 10,671 electric cars in the US (+19.3% vs. last year), and 18,773 hybrids (+24%).

The F-Series remains the brand's flagship, with 68,318 pickups for August. For comparison, the next most popular Explorer found 20,617 buyers.

Thus, electrified models - EVs and hybrids together - are taking an increasingly prominent place in Ford's sales, forming the company's transitional strategy: not only pure "battery" cars, but also hybrids for those who are not yet ready to give up the internal combustion engine.
